 * Propose splitting Category:Government agencies established in 1484 to Category:Government agencies established in the 15th century and Category:Organizations established in 1484
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to have categories by year when there's only one year in this entire century. It's not helpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 23:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Stub category for a genus with a single species. Too small a category to be useful Plantdrew (talk) 22:35, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, delete the template too. I have added the only article to Category:Insect stubs. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Exiled Finnish politicians to Category:Exiled politicians and Category:Finnish exiles
 * Propose merging Category:Exiled Sudanese politicians to Category:Exiled politicians and Category:Sudanese politicians
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmgerge for now. There's no need to have just one (or two) politicians in these categories. Mason (talk) 20:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Propose merging Category:Languages officially written in Indic scripts to Category:Languages written in Indic scripts
 * Nominator's rationale: The scripts are mostly not so much official as just conventional, and I don't think the distinction is particularly useful.  Pepper Beast    (talk)  17:23, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose The primary category tree for these articles is the ice hockey people tree and American Ice hockey people by state. Merging to the generic sportspeople category would remove the articles from the more important category tree. DJSasso (talk) 01:19, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The two category trees serve different purposes. The American ice hockey players is based on their international playing status/nationality. The other tree is based on where they are born. They portray two different sets of information which yes most often overlaps but doesn't always. -DJSasso (talk) 18:55, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.


 * The result of the discussion was: merge as nominated. If people wish to pursue the creation of a writers category, the members of the 12th century category are Sven Aggesen and Saxo Grammaticus, and the member of the 13th century category is Saxo Grammaticus. (non-admin closure) House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 17:24, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Propose merging Category:12th-century Danish historians to Category:12th-century Danish people and Category:Danish historians and Category:12th-century historians
 * Propose merging Category:13th-century Danish historians to Category:13th-century Danish people and Category:Danish historians and Category:13th-century historians
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now there's only one or two people in these categories, which is unhelpful for navigation. Mason (talk) 01:34, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment. Agree, except that the categories should be merged into Category:12th-century Danish writers and  Category:13th-century Danish writers etc. And other categories eg   Category:16th-century Danish historians should be subcategories of  Category:16th-century Danish writers (or  Category:16th-century Danish non-fiction writers if the subcategory is warranted). Writers by centuy is a catch-all category, like  Category:19th-century Danish musicians which is a “catch-all” category for Danish composers, pianists, violinists  etc where subcategories are not warranted.

 * Just dual merge, not to Category:Danish metalsmiths because the articles are already in Category:Danish goldsmiths or Category:Danish coppersmiths. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:02, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added a couple of new articles to both categories. The number of pages is now similar to that of the 19th-century category, which wasn't listed for deletion, so I assume that is enough. But a few more articles will follow within the next couple of days.Ramblersen2 (talk) 12:09, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Now keep the 18th century but delete the 21st century. The latter consists of articles about people who were mainly active in the 20th century, per WP:OVERLAPCAT. Marcocapelle (talk) 12:43, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I have now added four new biographies and weeded out a couple of the oldest people who did not seem to ghave been very active after the turn of the century. The four new biographies are all about people who are either still active or have been so until fairly recently.Ramblersen2 (talk) 11:41, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The result of the discussion was: merge (non-admin closure) Qwerfjkl  talk  12:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Propose splitting Category:19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Hong Kong to Category:19th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in China and Category:Roman Catholic churches in Hong Kong and Category:19th-century churches in Hong Kong
 * Propose splitting Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in Hong Kong to Category:20th-century churches in Hong Kong and Category:20th-century Roman Catholic church buildings in China and Category:Roman Catholic churches in Hong Kong
 * Nominator's rationale: Upmerge for now. There's no need to diffuse by denomination of church. Mason (talk) 00:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Triple merge per nom. for the first one, Category:Roman Catholic churches in Hong Kong has been mentioned twice as a merge target, that is probably a mistake. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:12, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * oops. good catch! Fixed now. Should have said Category:19th-century churches in Hong Kong Mason (talk) 13:18, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose upmerging to the Chinese categories. Items of dependent territories don't get categorised to categories for the metropolitan. 185.104.63.112 (talk) 20:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I would not object to upmerging to the Chinese categories. Hong Kong has become part of China even if it has a bit of autonomy. Marcocapelle (talk) 07:57, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * This isn't relevant. There are dependencies which are possessions of different sovereign nations and got little or no autonomy. 188.211.233.131 (talk) 14:10, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Agree. What matters is the fact that Hong Kong is now part of China. Marcocapelle (talk) 19:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No it isn't part of that in the same way like provinces or province-level municipalities. It's just like Curaçao and Sint Maarten that are not part of the Netherlands in the same manner as Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are. 46.229.243.187 (talk) 08:07, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Curaçao is not part of the Netherlands at all. Hong Kong is part of China. Marcocapelle (talk) 20:34, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Nominator's rationale: Per Arbitrary Cat User:Namiba 00:08, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Marcocapelle (talk) 06:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Defining characteristic. Let&#39;srun (talk) 19:25, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * How is it defining? This seems very arbitrary to me. Why not two career hits? Mason (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per Letsrun. One hit only players are talked about in media, two not so much. -DJSasso (talk) 14:50, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Trivia is often discussed in the media. WP:CATDEF says "The defining characteristics of an article's topic are central to categorizing the article. A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to[1] in describing the topic, such as the nationality of a person or the geographic location of a place." Does the fact that a player managed only a single career hit rise to this level?--User:Namiba 15:18, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete how is this defining? I am getting zero relevent results when I search major league baseball players with one career hit -wikipedia. Do any of the keepers have links to reliable sources which discuss one hitters as such? House Blaster  (talk · he/him) 17:29, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
